Aneurysm of the vein of Galen is a rare anomaly. In the severe type, the first clinical manifestation of this anomaly is heart failure after birth. Prenatal diagnosis is important in preventing heart failure during the postnatal period. Here, we report the prenatal diagnosis of a case of aneurysm of the vein of Galen in which we used a pulsed Doppler unit combined with a fetal electrocardiogram-phonocardiogram unit.

Aneurysm of the vein of Galen is a rare congenital vascular malformation of the central nervous system. There are controversies in the literature regarding the possible prognostic value of aneurysmal volume estimation with 3-dimensional US for the prediction of fetal outcome. In this report, we present a case of prenatally diagnosed large aneurysm of the vein of Galen complicated by heart failure in a fetus. The volume of the malformation was calculated as 17.8 cm(3) and the fetal outcome was poor.
